Can anyone recommend a good orthopedist or physiatrist for (upper) back issues? I hate trying to find someone "cold" via my insurance list, especially and disliked the one I found earlier this year. FWIW, I have Health Republic/Magnacare.

Columbia has a large team of back/spine experts, including a newly expanded spine practice at The Allen Hospital. Good place to start is http://columbiaortho.org/ or ColumbiaDoctors.org. (I work for Columbia.)
Anyone know of an orthopedic doctor in the area????

Check the directory at ColumbiaDoctors.org. We have some of the best in the world practicing at 168 th St. (Or look at columbiaortho.org.) I can personally vouch for a hand specialist and a knee/elbow expert.
